How Native Scrolls Can Make Ethereum Great Again in 2 Years

Genosys founder Martin Koppelmann says implementing the 128 “native package” web will save the Ethereum network from being captured by corporate interests and going into obscurity.

Native Coils are Layer-2 (L2) networks built with Ethereum's native security standards, meaning they are scalable, untraceable, and economically compatible with the core Ethereum system.

Unlike “centralized” coils — which include Coinbase-incubated Base or “established coils” like Tyco — native coils offer all of Ethereum's inherent security and integration.

Native coils will be “built and managed” by Ethereum core developers, with L1-synchronous reading and all data availability, maximum extractable values ​​(MEV) and congestion charges paid to the main network.

Köppelmann argues that the implementation of these so-called native scrolls could hold the key to solving the problems of liquidity and developer fragmentation currently plaguing the network. It also returns the network to the original view of sharding that was abandoned by supporting wrappers.

The proposal received a warm response from Ryan Adams of the Unbanked podcast, who praised the approach, saying, “They just add up. [to existing rollups]They restore power, strengthen ETH.

However, Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams said he prefers a “middle-tier” approach to a decentralized authentication system — a sequence-agnostic L2 authentication system. feel like.

2 years to get rid of this is unbelievable (but achievable).

Adrian Brink, co-founder of “intent-centric” blockchain firm Anoma, told Cointelegraph that the distinction between native and established scrolls is mostly “made” for marketing purposes.

“There is no defined computer science term for ‘native', ‘based' or ‘vanilla' wrappers. Based on means that the package is in the order of the base layer. Native means that there is a native opcode to ensure the performance of the package,” he said.

“Centralized” package risks

Köppelmann is the founder of Gnosis, an Ethereum infrastructure company with a high priority on decentralization. Gnosis is behind Safe Global and Gnosis Chain, which together form the infrastructure upon which most of the Ethereum ecosystem rests.

Speaking at a DevCon forum in Thailand last week, Koppelman, wearing a Tornado Cash T-shirt, insisted that Ethereum should distance itself from a centralized layer-2 package and deploy its own ZK-verified networks, all built at scale. Ethereum Layer 1 Levels.

“I have the highest respect for Jesse [Pollak] And for what Base and Coinbase are doing, I think it's wrong to say, ‘We're going to bring the next billion people to Ethereum.'

“You bring the next billion people to the base.”

Köppelmann Base and any other centralized layer-2 network provides various incentives, warned that it is a responsibility.

“It's completely up to them to control how much they charge for transactions, and they're perfectly capable of doing something when they're taking 30% off,” Kopelman said, referring to Apple's controversial fee on all sales through the App Store. .

Why does Ethereum need “native” L2s?

According to Kopelman, package developers are typically presented with two main choices: a centralized package, based on a centralized order, or a “based” package.

Centralized ordering is good for facilitating user experience and faster transactions, while “based” packages are slower but facilitate deeper communication with L1.

“If most of the assets are not attached to Ethereum and the order is not processed by Ethereum, the connection with Ethereum will occasionally be reduced to a checkpoint,” he said.

Unfortunately, Kopelman said, it is not centralized or institutionalized in a way that will lead to major benefits for the Ethereum ecosystem in the long term.

His solution is to create and deploy 128 equal and interdependent native packages – no multi-signature wallet, two independent authentication systems and strict code testing.

“These L2s will be highly compatible with L1, fulfilling Ethereum's early promise to provide sharding using L2 technology,” Kopelman said.

Brink said he agrees with Koppelman, at least in part, that Ethereum should seek to change its dependence on privately owned ecosystems in the long term.

“Theoretically you could still have native scrolls with centralized serialization as a definition – but native scrolls are definitely an improvement over the centralized L2 situation,” he said.

“Many coils today are venerable multisig. Native summaries would have much better censorship resistance and improved integration.

Köppelmann argued that while Base and other L2s claim their networks share the “inherent security” of Ethereum, this is far from the truth, noting that funds can be stolen in a number of ways, both on the main network and on L2s that are not accessible to others. Enough decentralized L2s.

It was also criticized by Ethereum developer James Prestwich in an earlier DevCon speech that provided several examples of how decentralized blockchains can censor and manipulate decentralized financial protocols like Aave.

Brink said that while native abstraction theoretically makes it “much easier” for developers to deploy new packages and add new programming features, they still aren't what he calls a truly scalable solution.

“This is because the amount of data required to post on-chain still increases with the amount of usage you get,” he said. “Currently, the only truly scalable solutions are plasma-like structures, where you can post constant data across the chain, no matter how much movement occurs.”

“It's an old idea that fell by the wayside because we didn't have advanced ZK technology then, but now we do, and plasma needs to be re-examined.”

Ultimately, Brink says the most important goal for Ethereum's expansion is to focus on a “general concept” — a single level of thought that can be shared and understood by all users, apps, and solvers — and avoid the fragmentation currently on Mars. Ethereum.
